SOURCE: CULTURE MAP DALLAS
Lumedia Musicworks will present A New Celtic Journey: From the Land of King Arthur to the Tennessee Mountains on two evenings celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.
This program juxtaposes Celtic fiddling tunes with Baroque masterpieces of a similar flavor. Celtic folk songs will feature vocalists who share an affinity for this music.
The ensemble performs on instruments made to look and sound like those used when Irish fiddling was born. The song lyrics include English and Gaelic. Rumor has it that one traditional Celtic tune on the program, "Carolan’s Dream," was the inspiration for Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," also worked into the mix. French Baroque tambourins, Irish reels and an Appalachian folk song contribute to the Journey.
